Intra channel search

[jasontalbott]

Wondering if anyone is having success with the intra channel search? It looks like a newer feature for the wizard? For me it is returning results which is great, but when I click on the results to play them, I'm getting "error: got invalid pathname, load the next one. An unexpected problem (but not server timeout or HTTP error) has been detected."

Even if I can't get the search to work correctly, I can't complain (too much, lol). This wizard has allowed me to make a much better channel than using the rdp to scenegraph template that ROKU came up with. Nice work and many thanks to rrirower for what you've done for us.

What version are you running?

[jasontalbott]

It says 1.0.0.0 beta 3

[jasontalbott]

ooooohh.... you have a beta 5.... I will give that a try.

You should add yourself as a "watcher" or "star" to this repo if you want to be notified when new versions are released.

Ok, I used beta 5. I have mixed results.

My feed has a movie at the beginning which I'm using to feature one video that the user can play with minimal clicks (just 2 clicks). The rest of my content is four series that have seasons and episodes. If the featured video (movie content type) is returned in the search results, I can play it from the search screen. If any of the episodes are returned I get the error as stated in my original post.

I also notice that the "movie" shows up in the results with the correct description text, while the episodes show the series description instead of the episode description.

I validated my feed using your Channel Feed Manager tool and it comes out green, so that could possibly be a bug? TLDR; search is working for movies, partially working for series/season/episodes (returns the content, but can't click through on it).

Can you post the URL for your feed so I can test further?

If I search the series name "US Telecasts", it shows in the results "Series: 0 Seasons with 0 Episodes"... when there's actually 12 seasons and 24 episodes (in the test feed anyway).

I'm not sure if this is helpful but I spent this morning figuring out how to see the debug console (set up OpenSSH on my computer and enabled telnet) and when I click on one of the search results that is not the movie object, I got this in the debbuger:

Thanks for the info. I believe those messages are benign, but, I'll take a closer look.

[rrirower]

Btw... If you haven't already, please add your experience with this project to the success stories discussion.
